In May 2024 our team made the journey north to the Anh Dao Orphanage and had a lovely visit with the children. We had coordinated ahead of time with the head nun at the orphanage, and arranged to bring lots of food and general supplies for the month. On the day of the visit, we loaded up a van with all the provisions, and made the drive north into Ninh Hoa.
When we arrived, the children were excellent helpers, and stacked all the supplies on the main steps. On this visit, we brought bags of rice, boxes of noodles, eggs, fish, sausages, vegan meat pies, vegan pork, vegan fish, tofu sheets, varieties of mushrooms, cooking oil, sriracha, fresh vegetables, mung beans, apples, seasonings, laundry detergent, dish soap, and cleaning products.
As a treat for all the children, our team handed out bubble tea drinks for all to enjoy. It was a wonderful day!
This charity trip was made possible through the kind donations from Harry Leong and Christopher Dang. For Harry, this trip was in memory of Mrs. Sau Yue Eng. Thank you!
ABOUT THE ANH DAO ORPHANAGE
Founded in 2004 by the Buddhist nun Thich Nu An Son, a large group of orphans are cared for at this wonderful home in Ninh Hoa, 62 kilometers north of Nha Trang. Visit the orphanage and you’ll find a well-organized and loving environment. The children are happy, and it’s a joy to sit, talk, and play with the little ones. To help provide nourishment to the children, and as a small means of earning funds, Sister An Son tends a small farm behind the orphanage, in front of the girl’s living quarters. The children eat the vegetables that are grown here, and the surplus can be sold to help pay for monthly expenses.
